Help Caridad Pineiro Help Hurricane #Sandy Relief ~ #JerseyShore #NJ

When I moved to New Jersey, I was lucky enough to be able to
spend time along the Jersey Shore. It
was great to take long strolls along miles of boardwalk, enjoy frozen custard cones,
and noisy rides. Explore the towns with
their beautiful old Victorians. Take a
risk at a casino! There are just so many
other unique flavors in the many Shore towns.
Of course, there is also the beauty of the dunes and ocean which
inspired my SIN HUNTERS series.

The Jersey Shore is my home and I love it. So it was heartbreaking to walk the many
miles of boardwalk and see damage in one town after the other. I’ve posted some before and after photos on
my Facebook Fan Page.

I’ve always been someone who believes in helping others, especially
since my current release, THE PRINCE’S GAMBLE, is set in Atlantic City. For starters, I did a last minute rewrite to
the book to add mentions of the storm and add a message of hope about rebuilding
the Shore. It delayed release of the
book, but everyone involved with the project believe that it was worthwhile to
do this.

Here is a little blurb about THE PRINCE’S GAMBLE:

Prince Alexander Ivanov is
scrambling to save his reputation and his livelihood. One of the Russian Nights
Casino's hostesses has disappeared, and his business is suddenly under
investigation by the FBI for associations with the mob and money laundering.Special Agent Kathleen Martinez has
no patience with rich, entitled aristocrats, especially one like Alexander
Ivanov whom she believes is involved in the vicious human trafficking ring
which she'd tried—and failed—to shut down two years earlier. With a second
chance to bring him to justice, she goes undercover in the casino, but instead
of facing the villain she expected, she finds herself battling a sizzling
attraction to the man.Now, forced to work together to
trace the source of the illegal activities, the danger—and the passion between
them—grows out of control, and they slowly begin to realize the biggest danger
isn’t to the casino, it’s to their lives…and to their hearts.

But I also decided that I needed to do more and for that
reason, I’m donating my share of the proceeds from the sales of THE PRINCE’S
GAMBLE to the Hurricane Sandy NJ Relief Fund. I’m hoping that we can rebuild
and restore the Shore so that people can go home and reopen the businesses that
have been affected by the storm.

Thank you for letting me visit, Laura! I appreciate you letting me help spread the
word about this campaign. For those of
who would like to help out, please post this where you can:

Best-selling author Caridad Pineiro
is helping to rebuild the shore by donating proceeds of her latest romantic
suspense release, THE PRINCE’S GAMBLE, from now until March 1, 2013. Caridad’s
share of the proceeds from the sales of the book will be donated to the
Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief fund. THE PRINCE’S GAMBLE is available for
download at Amazon via this link: http://amzn.to/UFCKRO or at B&N via this

Caridad, I bought this as soon as you made the announcement about the relief effort and have been following your update pictures of the shore. I am trying to spread the word and hope that we are able to help you make a difference. :D Carin
